The score of nutritional behavior was 51.81±14.16, and the passing rate and the excellent rate were 27.66% and 4.26%, respectively. Compared to the years of work, there was a significant difference in the score of nutritional attitude between nursing staffs of different working years (F=3.804, P=0.030). Among them, nurses who have been working for 10-15 years have the highest nutritional attitude score. While the nutritional knowledge (F=0.698, P=0.503) and practice (F=1.542, P=0.225) score showed no significant difference. The top three approaches to obtaining knowledge of nutrition were groping for accumulation in work practice (79.37%), learning in school (71.43%), attending conferences and training (57.14%).
